Future Plans
Uzbek lexicon still needs to be improved. Analysis of Uzbek can be problematic because of the unusual alphabet of the language along with non-standard forms, which also needs further improvement. More lexical selection, disambiguation and transfer rules are needed to achieve a greater translation quality on all pairs.
